Committee On Fair Rents Has Initial Meeting First steps to put in practice a ceiling on rents to prevent a disastrous inflation of the rent scale in this area, were being taken today by the Los Angeles City Defense Council’s Fair Rents Committee, following its initial meeting at the City Hall under the chairmanship of H. F. Whittle. The federal government has designated Los Angeles as a defense rental area, fixed the rents prevailing on March 1 of this year as the maximum that should be charged for any housing accommodations, and set June 28 as the date by which general compliance with the new regulations must be in effect. The Fair Rents Committee, which is to function pending appointment of a rent administrator for the Los Angeles area by the Office of Price Administration, will work to develop voluntary compliance with the new regulations on the part of landlords and tenants and to prevent misunderstandings from arising, it was decided.

Some day, scientists say, you’ll be using it for cooking and on the dining room table just the same as any other sugar—and possibly even before the present war is over. Moreover, you’ll really like it, and if a sufficient number of wood-sugar factories are put in operation, you’ll not have to “scrimp” on the amount you use. With 630,000,000 acres of forest land in the United States now in use for the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees for lumber, paper and other wood products, experts say that it would be relatively easy to obtain 1,000,000 tons of sugar annually from sawdust and other waste products alone. In Germany, where the entire land area is less than one-fourth the size of the forested area in the United States, they have been using sugar made from sawdust and wood chips for a number of years, and chemists report it tastes just as good as any other sugar and is equally digestible.
